Top 5 Best Sex Dolls | Discounts & The Future | Must Read!

Realistic sex dolls are a new sweeping trend; they remain niche because of the price tag, but they fill a rather unique role in the world of adult toys. For example, not everyone is happy with just run of the mill sex toys, so while masturbators and strokers exist, they just don’t fill the void for some. Rather, some people prefer a more intimate approach, they want the idea of romance involved, but they aren’t necessarily looking for companionship in the traditional sense. This is where realistic sex dolls come into their own as a product.

With a realistic sex doll, you aren’t just getting a toy. For many, it’s the emotional ideology of having a ‘partner’ that’s far more enticing. While the dolls are anatomically equipped for sexual purposes, you’re also able to customize and stylize their hair, their clothing, and in a way that allows you to set the tone for their personality. There’s a deeper connection with these sex dolls as opposed to just toys; they become an intrinsic part of the owner’s lifestyle. So, let’s take a look at some of our top five dolls on the market today.

5. Amber from SiliconWives

Amber is somewhat petite by comparison with the rest of our listed dolls; her silicone stature measures up at just 148cm or a little under five feet. At a mere 29 kilos, you’d be hard pressed to think it had a steel skeleton inside; it’s oddly light for something human-sized. Amber, while you might expect fiery red hair, has bright blonde hair; perfect for the fantasy of a dream blonde, provided your dream is somewhat small in stature.

Like Irina, you cannot customize Amber’s hair; unlike Irina, you can’t customize the skin of Amber. You still have a choice of eye color, non-standing versus standing feet, and between a built-in or insertable vagina depending on your washing preferences. Similar to Irina there’s a great deal of attention to the craftsmanship and quality of the genitals, mouth, and anus; Silicon Wives accentuate these areas as key features, rightfully so.

The face is soft and pleasing with a fairly neutral expression; the eyes seem to match the general color tone of Amber well. They don’t look too glassy or vacant, which as stated, can be somewhat off-putting. The lips are a good peach color; it’s neither too heavy, such as some cherry colors, nor too bland. Amber retains an understated but elegant appearance that’ll surely appeal to a wide variety of people, particularly if they prefer a natural looking face.

Given its small size and silicone construction, it’s an ideal bath partner. Some people love to take baths with their dolls; it’s a highly intimate scenario and for some the ultimate way to whet their appetite. Her smaller physique makes it convenient to take a bath together, lift her, or carry her across the threshold if that’s your taste.

Overall, customization options are somewhat sparse, but there are plenty of other models available from Silicon Wives if you aren’t into shorter blondes, such as Irina. There isn’t much to say, the lack of customization options are the greatest of her shortcomings; she is overall a quality silicone model that is small enough to take into the bath with you. Ah, and for any concerned, she isn’t quite platinum blonde either.

4. Biba from OvDoll

Biba is the new doll on the block. Instead of using TPE, Biba makes use of the more durable and long-lasting silicone. The Biba, just like Anna, is weighted well at 50 kilos giving it an authentic feeling; it’s almost as feature rich too. For the largest part, it’s daringly similar to the Anna with the exception of the material used. There are similar customization options, including hairstyle, eye and skin color, and even pubic hair.

The most significant difference is quite possibly just the shape of the doll; where Anna is more svelte and sleek, Biba is busty and brazen. The face is somewhat improved compared to the Anna, making it more attractive; some of Anna’s features stick out just a little bit too much, and that can make them feel almost cartoonish. If the face is a big priority for you, and you’re into top heavy women, then Biba seems like a highly appropriate choice.

Similarly to Anna, the doll has three available orifices, including the option for an insertable vagina to make it easier to clean. Cleaning can be a big thing with life-size sex dolls; TPE is significantly more sensitive to heat, and it’s ill-advised to put it in hot water for a long period of time. Silicone is very durable by comparison, making Biba a better bubble bath companion, as she’s not quite so hydrophobic.

Once more, customization options aren’t so much upgrades as they are tailoring, but it must be said that they haven’t quite mastered eyes on either Biba or Anna. All three colors have a sort of glassy hue where they’re just a bit too clear and shiny; it’s off-putting and distracting. We as humans are wired to notice eyes, and when they don’t look right, our brain registers it quickly. The darker eyes aren’t as bad as the brighter colors, with green being the worst offender for that vacant look.

Just like Anna, Biba offers an affordable, customizable experience. The key difference between the two is the material and body shape; silicone isn’t quite as nice on the skin but is more durable. Vice versa applies for TPE, making it more likely to degrade, but softer and more human-like to the touch. If the texture isn’t an issue for you, as it can be quickly resolved with lubrication and powder, then it may simply come down to wanting the bustier model Biba has going for her.

3. Anna from OvDoll

The dark-skinned Anna doll comes in at a more economical price point, and in some ways, it shows. While they still ensure they use a higher quality TPE material to ensure the best sensual experience, the craftsmanship is noticeably less detailed than some of the more expensive dolls. It must be said that the most wanting area is the face, so if you’re more interested in the body of the doll, you should be fairly satisfied with what you’re getting: a customizable, well made TPE body.

Customization is fairly limited on the Anna, which is to be expected given the price. Still, you have the option of customizing aesthetic features such as the hair and skin tone. Regardless, you’ll be stuck with the same svelte body shape that every doll ships with; what you see is what you get. The quality of customization options doesn’t really vary. You’re not getting an upgrade in a sense, just something tailored more towards your specific tastes.

You may be pleased to know that some of the more practical features have trickled down into this model from other top dolls. The Anna is fortunately equipped with the option for an ‘insertable’, meaning an insertable orifice. It doesn’t seem like much, but when it comes to cleaning it saves a substantial amount of elbow grease; in your mind, try to fathom cleaning out the orifice of a somewhat stationary, life-sized doll – one that weighs almost as much as a human. It’s not as aesthetically complete, but a well worthwhile addition.

It may be no surprise, but it warrants stating that this doll comes with three orifices; a mouth, vagina, and anus. Some dolls won’t come with all three holes as a cost-cutting measure, but here you’re still getting a complete doll experience. All said and done, Anna is somewhat barebones, keeping the quintessential features one might look for in a doll. It doesn’t quite manage to produce the realism that serious enthusiasts may search for within the sex doll companionship experience, but anatomically the doll is quite ideal.

Overall you’re getting a 168cm doll, well proportioned and weighted, with the essentials that someone might look for in a sex doll. Customization is rudimentary and adds flavor to suit you, but does not have many options in the way of upgrades. On the flip side, it keeps the doll affordable for those that want to dabble or maybe just dip their toes in the proverbial pool of realistic sex dolls. Perhaps though, they may wish to polish their marketing materials given the $1,959 price tag.

2. Irina from SiliconWives

Irina will appeal to a particular type of person: those with eastern desires. Marketed specifically as a Japanese/oriental sex doll, Irina captures a specific aesthetic that’s sure to captivate an audience with a particular penchant for Asian women. At 165cm tall, the full TPE body of Irina is surprisingly light at just 33 kilos, where most models are at least 15 kilos heavier. At $2,299 it’s not much cheaper than a trip to Thailand, but unlike a trip to Thailand, it won’t abruptly end with a melancholic flight home.

Oddly enough, Irina’s hair isn’t customizable; the face and hairstyle are usually two tacit traits people like to change to get their idyllic image of a woman. If you want a different hairstyle, you’ll need to buy a completely different doll, which is striking given some of the other customization options available. For example, ones you’d expect are there such as eye color and pubic hair, but additionally, you have unexpected options to customize skin color, nipple color, and can elect for standing or non-standing feet.

You don’t get the option of an insertable or built-in vagina unlike some other models, and this is perhaps because of the extra attention to detail. The genitals on Irina are more akin to a masturbator or Fleshlight, with tighter lips and an actual labia construction. This helps to build a more realistic feel, whereas some of the cheaper dolls have a broader flared construction. While that can help to prevent the orifice from narrowing based on leg position, Irina aims for authenticity, and that is perhaps a testament to the quality of construction involved.

In spite of the lightweight, Irina features a steel skeleton that allows for self-supported poses, although ‘standing feet’ are an optional extra. The three orifices are well made and soft, ensuring you’ll always find a way to have some fun with Irina. Despite being lightweight, TPE, of course, makes it inadvisable for submerging in hot water, meaning you’ll have to find creative solutions for managing the cleanliness of your doll.

Overall, Irina is a well-proportioned TPE doll with wide hips and a perky bust. You’ll be particularly enticed if you’re into Asian women, and even if you’re not, there’s still an amicable range of features and a finish quality that makes Irina worthy of this list. The only drawback is the lack of hair customization options, although you may find another doll with preferable hair from Silicon Wives should it be particularly bothersome for you.

1. Rebbeca ‌from RealDoll

Without a doubt RealDoll puts out the most realistic and complete sex dolls to date. Constantly pushing the boundaries of realism and bringing the dolls to life.

The Future of Sex Dolls, Automation, and The RealDollx Project

As you already probably know, I’m a firm believer in sex toys and sexual liberation. I’m always looking for what the future has to offer and what we can expect in 5, 10, and 15 years from now. As the sex toy industry grows all around the world, increased demand is placed on manufacturers to create better, more realistic products. I think high functioning “ai” sex toys are where we are headed. It’s exciting stuff that could change the fabric of our society. Even people who are against sex dolls in their current form would have difficulty not succumbing to their delights if they could move and grind and suck.

One of the most exciting projects I’ve looked at is from RealDoll. Known as RealDollx. RealDollx is an AI-driven robotic doll system that has been in development over the past several years.

Harmonyx The First of Her Kind

The Harmonyx from RealDoll provides a wide suite of customization options, from eye detailing, to make-up, all the way down to bare bone essentials like the skeletal structure. You may notice some differences in the photographs, that’s because RealDollx has a series of custom body types, including three petite/small models and five regular models. Each model comes with different spinal shapes, bust shapes, and just outright different shapes and curves.

RealDoll pay a lot of attention to the facial construction of their dolls; they aim to make them as life-like as possible. The head has a relatively natural range of motion that allows the dolls to pose, but most impressively, the head is designed to work in conjunction with an AI program managed and distributed by Realbotix. This is powered by an app, but unfortunately not one available on many platforms; at present, it only appears to be on Android, as it violates iOS terms of service. The app allows you to set and program preferences for the AI, but again it’s restrictive based on your device ownership.

The Harmonyx still has some teething issues, while the AI accentuates the experience, it also feels lacking. The motions are still on the stiff side, and overall don’t quite feel human enough. They’re just unrealistic enough to sit in what’s called the uncanny valley, where our brains identify something as human, but not human enough. While the AI is functional, it’s a touch on the slow side, sometimes taking a while to respond. Perhaps a more humanizing feature would be to have the doll ‘er’ if stumped, or trying to answer a question.

Nevertheless, you do have customization choices for makeup and hairstyles. If you prefer brunettes with short hair, you have that option; if you’re more into curly redheads with cherry lipstick, you can do that too. Keep in mind that all of these options cost an additional fee, for example switching hairstyles costs $150, and changing body a whopping $4,000. Sometimes the extra upgrades are things we felt should have been baseline by default, such as the hand painted eyes. The quality of eyes goes a long way in avoiding uncanny valley problems.

Overall the Harmonyx is a very high-quality product; you get loads of customization options to ensure you get a doll tailored to you. The drawback, of course, is that they all come at a premium. The AI gives you a ton of options but requires an app on Android, and to me, it wouldn’t be a selling feature as it’s too jarring and distracting in its current form. I could see how in a few years with some more tweaks it becoming a lot more streamlined. It is a unique way to get companionship; you effectively make your Realdoll‌ interactive, and they’re sure to grow this trend in the future.

TPE vs Silicone

The two main options for sex doll materials are silicone, and TPE. Silicone is made primarily from silicon and carbon, whilst TPE (also known as thermoplastic elastomer, or thermoplastic rubber) is a mix of plastic and rubber. Silicone is a more durable material, but also comes at the price of being more abrasive; typically you’ll need to treat the silicone before use to ensure it’s comfortable. Silicone can feel stickier than TPE, despite TPE containing rubber. A typical solution is to use baby powder or oils with silicone.

TPE is far less heat resistant than silicone, with even the most resistant and sturdy TPE polymers having a melting point at less than half of silicone. While it’s unlikely your bath will get toasty enough to melt a TPE doll outright, you’ll likely start to see deformation or stretching should you heat a TPE doll inappropriately. With that said, the benefit of TPE is that it’s naturally softer than silicone, making it more flexible and malleable.

TPE also has that issue of being much more porous than silicone. This may not seem like a big deal but over time the doll will begin to degrade. Even if you are very careful with cleaning you may still end up with mold, mildew, fungus, or bacterial growth. Smell could also become an issue. At that point your favorite doll becomes nothing more than a very expensive, 80lb paperweight.

It is my suggestion to always opt for silicone if you can. It is more expensive and does require slightly more “prep.” However, it’s more durable, non-porous, and won’t require anywhere near as much maintenance.

Caring for your sex doll

There are some skin care requirements for your doll depending on the material used. Recommendations can vary, for example, it is advisable not to leave the doll’s arms or legs in a stretched position to avoid deforming the material. There may be additional steps depending on your choice of sex dolls, such as hair cleaning procedures and skin maintenance. Please check with the manufacturer and consult the instructions as per their recommendations, as these steps may vary based on the materials used in the doll.

When using the doll for sex, ensure adequate lubrication is used; while these materials may be soft, they will still be abrasive against your skin. After use, ensure that the orifice and canal are washed thoroughly with antibacterial soap and warm water. This prevents any build-up of bacteria that may cause an unpleasant sell, mold, or mildew. This should be done after every use to keep the doll sanitary. Additionally, some vendors offer extra powders to help dry and scent the orifice appropriately.

Shipping

Due to the size of the above dolls, they usually aren’t handled by conventional couriers. They’re usually delivered by more specialist couriers that deliver larger packages, as the doll often exceeds size or weight limits for regular services. Packaging is always discreet, and no delivery driver will know the contents; they ship in an unassuming box. As far as the delivery man is concerned, it could be an air conditioner inside the box. There’s no substantial fear around ordering the doll.

Please note that due to customization options and size, delivery may also be slower than on other toys. As regular shipping companies can often handle smaller toys, they can be delivered within a day or two; dolls may take a week or two to arrive. This is unfortunately somewhat unavoidable but is a caveat you should be aware of to plan the delivery appropriately for when you’ll be there to accept the package.

Conclusion

Sex dolls are a niche market, they’re an expensive investment, and if you’re looking here, you’re either curious or know your interest is piqued. Depending on your investment, willingness, and desire, you’ll want to choose a doll carefully. Those looking for companionship may want to consider a more aesthetic and interactive doll such as the Harmony x ‌whilst those simply looking for a more complete sexual experience may settle for a Silicon Wives model, like Irina. There are truly dozens of factors to consider in getting your idyllic sex doll, certainly not choices we can make for you, but hopefully, this gives you an idea of what’s available on the market.
